I don;t know what kind of family problems they are, but either way i will tell you some steps that you can help her.
I am sure that you see her online or talk to her on the phone or something every once in a while.
So the first step to help someone, is to simply listen to him say everything he wants to say, because it gives him comfort and makes him feel like someone is there for him,supporting him.
Then you start taking each problem one by one and think of the perfect solution that you could come up with together. And if she wants to cry, then leave her to cry, and if she wants to talk, then leave her to talk, and in the same time, comfort her, and tell her that you are there for her, and that she can tell you anything she wants to say.
YOu could also suggest that she should sit with her parents and talk to them, and tell them how she feels, and how depressed she is,and so they would start to think of her an her situation, and would for sure sympathize with her, because i have been in these situations before and soon things will start to fall in place. becuause sometimes, problems just come like that out of the blue, but then again when we sit and think about them and try to figure things out, we find that the solution is right infront of us. But the thing is that your friend is really upset and depressed, which is making her blind from seeing the solutions that could help her get over this problem.
So try to think of the things i said, and help her with them. you could also try to suggest for her to make friends and meet new people, because eventually she will have to have someone there beside her which she can call her friend.
So goodluck:) and if you need any other help or advice then please be free to contact me. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]

I think its awesome you want to help your friend and it sounds like you need to find some form of communication to keep in contact with her. If there is no form of communication, GET ON YOUR KNEES and Pray!! God will help!! [ bettyboopstr's advice column | Ask bettyboopstr A Question ]
